arylsulfatase


ar·yl·sul·fa·tase

(ar'il-sŭl'fă-tās), An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phenol sulfates, including cerebroside sulfates (that is, a phenol sulfate + H2O → a phenol + sulfate anion). Some arylsulfatases are inhibited by sulfate (type II) and some are not (type I). Synonym(s): sulfatase (2)
